What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like.

Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to !historyartifacts@lemmy.world

Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

Fun fact, an interest in canals is called "Gongoozling"

Thanks for mentioning this! I just remembered that I learned it from "Rosemary & Thyme" The Gongoozlers (TV Episode 2004). Fun mystery series that I highly recommend.
